Bioluminescent RNA lanterns have revolutionized the way researchers track RNA activity within living organisms. In a groundbreaking study, scientists at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) ...

Researchers discovered that suppressing BMP signaling in astrocytes reduces seizures and restores brain balance in Fragile X syndrome models.

In normal mice, after a traumatic event, the synaptic network complex and excitability of basal amygdala excitatory neurons increase, which activates the basal amygdala, facilitating the extinction of ...

Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited genetic developmental condition that strongly impacts brain development. Despite the syndrome stemming from an altered genetic code for the single protein ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
